The Lifters

Written by Pulitzer nominee Dave Eggers, to be published by Knopf in Spring 2017. This is Dave Egger's first middle-grade novel.

"The book will follow the story of Gran (a.k.a. Granite), a young boy who’s having problems at home, and his friendship with Catalina Catalan, a girl he befriends who places a door handle on a hillside and opens it up to reveal a whole new world filled with both wonders and terrors. This new development leads them on an adventure that might help them save their town and become heroes. " Entertainment Weekly

“The Lifters has been on my mind for almost ten years,” says Eggers in a statement. “That’s when I had the idea that a simple cupboard handle could open a hillside to a warren of kid-sized tunnels under a town — and that it would be up these kids to keep everyone living aboveground upright and safe. My goal was to write the book I would have wanted to read when I was a middle-grader, with enough adventure and jokes and mystery to keep even an antsy reader engaged.”
